Chapter 60 Upgrading Skills and Tactics

After December in the southern borderlands, all the tribes south of the Ling River knew that "Sparrow Wu" was just like a migratory bird, arriving and departing with strict regularity.

This time, however, Sparrow Wu's triumphant display of might north of the Ling River was prolonged by a full ten days, to the extent that some inner sect disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect in the south cursed aloud, asking whether the people of Dayao had no intention of returning home for the New Year. In truth, the retreat had begun long ago; the majority of the rear encampments had started packing up back in November, and over ten thousand corvée laborers had already quietly returned to their home villages.

All one had to do was put on the Grim Reaper mask to summon the Reaper, and then break the seal to release the soul.

After all, Naruto had by then received the gift of the Sage of Six Paths and transformed into a Sage body; how could the Sage of Six Paths possibly be unfamiliar with his own body?

The devastation of Japan by nuclear weapons was such a massive event that it naturally sent ripples across the entire globe. Although the official authorities issued a unified statement claiming that the island's nuclear power plants had suffered a leakage due to a once-in-a-millennium massive earthquake, this was merely a cover to bury the truth about the biological virus.

It was not until noon on the third day that Shefa slowly regained consciousness. He gradually opened his eyes, having kept them closed for days out of fear that he would not adapt to the external light.

Any person could potentially be accused of rebellion, yet Wei Xu was a relative of Lü Bu, and Gao Shun's military authority had even been handed over to him directly by Lü Bu.

He had harbored no enmity or grievances against Lan Yimo, and from the moment she entered until she quietly departed, she had not spared him a single glance. Yet, right after she left, she had calmly and imperceptibly planted a gu poison in him.

Still, a sense of loss lingered. Being superseded felt almost as if one's older brother had been snatched away—a spiritual form of usurpation.

Seven days. For seven whole days, Cang Wu had not eaten a single morsel of food. Hunger and the looming threat of death closed in on him, plunging him into absolute despair.

Now, seeing Bai Yunfei's relaxed demeanor, the members of the brotherhood felt a bitter and unsettled knot in their hearts.

Upon witnessing Zhao Mu's actions, a chorus of skeptical voices immediately rose from among the thousands of academy disciples present.

The Meng family was an upright and incorruptible household that absolutely refused to engage in special privileges. Therefore, although their meals were slightly better than those of ordinary families, it was by no means easy for them to indulge in luxuries.

Yet Linglong was blatantly and utterly insulting his faith. At that very moment, Zhang Tingyu was consumed by a blazing fury.

"After ten thousand odd years, it was with the utmost difficulty that this old man finally found such a precious disciple whose state of mind has passed the test. How could she be someone you can bully at will!"

Gu Qishen remained speechless for a long time after hearing Han Yixian's words. He was utterly shocked. He also knew that Han Yixian was treating him as one of his own by confiding these things to him.

"Do you truly believe I dare not discipline you?" Lady Nian slammed her palm onto the table, saying with a huffed and angry expression.

Qin Yi: "So did you actually remember anything just now or not?" It turned out she had been badgering her to do it again simply to make Yinian laugh!

The fire under the pot for steaming rice cake had already been put out, so Du Yuhan went over to the well to wash wild vegetables. She planned to make them cold-dressed today, which would serve as a vegetable dish. With the stewed rabbit meat, she had no intention of preparing anything else.

Under the brilliant white illumination of the Sky-Inspection Mirror, the Blood Shadow Demon, whose form was growing increasingly translucent, was seen crouching over a corpse, greedily absorbing the essence of flesh and blood. Yet once caught in the mirror's beam, the crimson hue of its body grew even fainter still.

Qi Xiuyuan hung up the phone the moment he finished giving his instructions. Toward this sworn brother of his from a different mother and father, Qi Xiuyuan had never stood on ceremony.

Aside from He Xiang and the others, in several other locations within the Tianxuan Sect, a number of people were likewise sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing, seemingly waiting for something. Among them, some wore all white while others wore all black. Aside from the Tianxuan Sect, the atmosphere within the Dixuan Sect was also growing increasingly tense.

From then on, for well over half a month, Tao Youran and Tang Xiyin could be seen appearing in the same frame, and as a result, Tao Youran was flooded with continuous offers for film roles, while Tang Xiyin's popularity even came close to catching up with Si Jingyu for a time.

As for retiring from the entertainment industry, Bai Yu had long anticipated that things would reach this point. Besides, she hadn't signed that contract for very long anyway; otherwise, if she had wanted to secure good scripts and shoot to fame, it wouldn't have been a problem at all.
